Multi-State Opportunity
Your Training May Serve Students Far Beyond Your Local Market
Students increasingly pursue multiple permits and may complete different portions of their training in different locations. The network is being developed to organize these capabilities and make qualified instructors easier to identify.
How Training Gets Split
One student, several providers
A single student's training path may involve more than one instructor, more than one facility, and more than one state.
Online educational component
A student may complete a portion of their training online through one provider.
In-person course
Another portion may be completed in a classroom or on a range with a different instructor.
Live-fire qualification
A qualification may be completed while the student is traveling in another state.
Markets
Building a Multi-State Training Network
California, Utah, Arizona, and Hawaii are examples of markets that come up frequently in multi-state training conversations.
Requirements differ by program, jurisdiction, and issuing authority, and they change over time. Nothing on this page describes current legal requirements or constitutes legal guidance. Instructors and students should confirm requirements with the relevant issuing authority.
Why It Matters For Instructors
Capability, not geography alone
An instructor's value to a student is not only where they are located. It is which requirements they can help satisfy. The network records service area, certifications, agency approvals, and capabilities separately so that distinction survives.
